I’ve heard Country Day has a similar issue


Funny, the rumor was about Newman when I heard it. If you boomers haven’t caught on; it’s obviously bullshite.

Large Texas public schools in good districts are full of hundreds of Todd Graves’. I believe it.

Rummel of the Northshore. Anyone who pays tuition to send his kid to St. Paul's is a moron. The public schools in that area are better.

Gen X, maybe it is bullshite, knowing some of the parents it wouldn’t surprise me. 2026 has a lot on the bingo card I never would have believed.

Todd Graves (net worth 22B) and Holden Spaht (net worth 4B) both graduated from Episcopal and were in school at the same time. I'd say that's pretty impressive for a school with maybe 300-400 kids in high school.

Cedar Creek produces more academic output than most of these with way less enrollment.

#10David Thibodaux STEM Magnet Academy805 Teurlings Drive, Lafayette, Louisiana 70501

I have two boys in New Orleans and always said that for academic reasons they could go to either Jesuit or Ben Franklin, historically the best preparation for college in this city and the most Natl Merit Scholars. One went to Jesuit, the other to Franklin. Other than both being traitors and going to T A&M and Bama, they've both turned out fine.

Would your kid have any say? Or is he just part of the indoctrination (like you)?

Too high.


It's funny, my nephew, who graduated third in his class at Rummel, graduated summa cum laude from LSU in civil engineering, use to tutor all of his Jesuit buddies, in math, while in school...
